How I Studied Online While Working Full Time

Two years ago I worked a full day in Midrand and had no idea how to fit studying around it. Then I started with one hour every evening after supper, using the Student Portal on my phone.
Some nights were hard. I kept going because the lessons were short.
It always seems impossible until it is done. Nelson MandelaLerato Khumalo, our Student Support Officer, answered every question I sent. By the end of the year I held my certificate and asked my manager for a better role.
How I planned my week
I gave myself three study evenings and one longer Saturday session. Sundays were for rest. I told my family my schedule, so they could help with cooking and the children. A clear plan made me feel less guilty about saying no to other things.
What kept me going
I celebrated every finished module with a small treat. When I felt tired, I read my reason for studying, which I had stuck on my wall. Support from tutors and other students also made a big difference.
